looking for dual-phy (copper & fiber) NIC



Sorry for the slightly OT, but I've run out of ideas...

I could of sworn about a month ago or so, I found a half-height
gigabit NIC (PCI Express I think) which offered two copper AND two SFP
connectors for
fiber. The card had only two ethernet controllers (Marvell I think),
hence you could only use up to two connectors at any time. Very
similar to many switches which give you the choice of copper or fiber
but not both (sometimes called "combo ports").

Of course, I didn't bookmark the page, I can't find it in my browser
history and Google is failing me horribly. Note: I'm NOT looking for
the old SysKonnect or Allied Tellysn cards which are 10/100Mbps. This
was a gigabit card!

Any hints or pointers to the page, vendor or reseller would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron
